JACKY TERRASSON

Jacky Terrasson, the most widely traveled of all jazz pianists, is the piano player of happiness, according to Telerama magazine in France. He is an exhilarating musician, one of those who play their public straight to euphoria.

Born in Berlin, of an American mother and a French father, he grew up in France, in Paris. He started to learn the piano when was 5 and after studying classical piano in school, he began to study jazz, in particular with Jeff Gardner. His encounter with Francis Paudras (whose movie, “Round Midnight”, tells the moving story of a lasting friendship with Bud Powell) will be an important part of his initiation in jazz. Jacky then leaves for the United States to attend the Berklee College of Music. In 1993, after he wins the prestigious Thelonious Monk Award, he begins touring with Betty Carter. He then decides to move to New York, where he still lives today.

Exactly one year after his triumph in the Thelonious Monk competition, Jacky Terrasson was introduced in the New York Times Magazine as one of the 30 under 30, that is to say one of the 30 artists most likely to change American culture in the next 30 years, and signed with the prestigious Blue Note label.

The Jazz Voyager

From the ATL to the City of Angels The Jazz Voyager is on a flight cross-country to for a little bit of jazz. It’s been a while since I’ve been in this venue. So jumping into the rental car and heading north on the 101 for twenty minutes is the next leg of the trip. The destination is a small venue called The Baked Potato. The hundred and twenty seat venue is intimate in its wood-paneled walls and autographed posters.

Hitting the bandstand is the Dave Weckl Quartet. Led by the drummer who the band is named, was once an integral member of Chick Corea’s Elektric Band for six years beginning in 1985. He also appeared with Corea’s Akoustic Band. He said he “augmented his work with Corea by continuing his session work and appearing often with the GRP All-Star Big Band.

Filling out his quartet are vocalist Chrissi Poland, guitarist Oz Noy, and bassist Jimmy Haslip.

The Baked Potato is located at 3787 Cahuenga Boulevard, Studio City, CA 91604 For more information visit https://www.thebakedpotato.com.
